Should simplify the way WordPress.com accounts act under the hood in the iOS app. ### Android projects update A bug fix update is going out today that fixes a bug with featured images. The WordPress.com Notifications project is very close to betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process., no word on when just yet but should be very soon. ### Moving dev blog discussions to make/mobile (this blog) We decided to close the dev blogs and (if possible) migrate their data to this blog instead and keep all discussions/announcements/etc in one place. The filtering on this p2 should make it easy to only see discussions about specific platforms if you only contribute to one. [@mrroundhill](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mrroundhill/) took it on himself to investigate what’s needed for migrating the data. [@isaackeyet](https://profiles.wordpress.org/isaackeyet/)( me) will look into a way to display sticky messages on the dev blogs once migrations are complete. The platform leads for each platform will also post a last post on each one of the dev blogs letting subscribed readers know that the blog has been merged with make/mobile (this would be [@mrroundhill](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mrroundhill/), [@koke](https://profiles.wordpress.org/koke/), and [@daniloercoli](https://profiles.wordpress.org/daniloercoli/) for BlackBerry and Windows Phone). After the chat @nacin jumped in and let us know he will assist with the migrations as well. ### Handbook reminder [@aerych](https://profiles.wordpress.org/aerych/) reminded himself and all others that the Handbook is still in need of looking over and updating – please refer to the separate todo post for details on what’s left and who’s responsible for what. ### Other [@daniloercoli](https://profiles.wordpress.org/daniloercoli/) let everybody know that there’s a new bug fix update live for Windows Phone. It has bug fixes as well as a small new feature that lets users share permalinks to other apps on the device( such as Email, Facebook, Twitter, etc). ### Next week The next dev chat will be on May 15, 2013 at 15:00 UTC.

Forums: o Create new forums titled “Mobile” here with “Requests & Feedback”, “ How-To & Troubleshooting” o Add a way to select app when posting new threads o Close old forums and add note about the new ones o Migrate old forums over to be sub-forums of “Mobile” 2. Dev blogs: o Migrate dev blogs, starting with a less busy one. Categorize all posts from the import with the name of the platform for good slugs and easy categorization in the future. o Add way to select platform when posting new posts on make/mobile o Map old URLs to post on make/mobile o Close old dev blog, repeat 3. Landing sites (including official blogs): hold off until other migrations are complete. We’ll want to figure out how and where the landing sites will live in the WordPress. orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users.
